Here you go Chuiu, a RPG thats REAL

QUOTE

King Arthur

A lone soul stood and watched as the knights rode into the sunset. The knights of the round table. They had left him here, in captivity of the Romans. He swore he would take revenge one day...

The knights gathered around the round table.
"Once again we have served Rome, and tomorrow will be our day of freedom. We will once again return to the lands we come from!" Arthur said loudly.
"Ruuuuus!" Bors shouted.
"Hail to our great commander!"

Meanwhile, a great Saxon army gathered, just north of Hadrian's wall. Their leader, a mighty man of immense strength and weapon skill, commanded them. He was a brutal and ruthless leader, but so were the rest of the Saxons.
"We march the day after the next!" Their leader shouted.

So you're basing this on the movie, right? I only ask because the legend of King Arthur is so widely denated and only recently was it discovered that he may have been a Roman warrior who allied with the Britons and Scots against the Saxon army. Oh and because those lines of dialogue you included are from the movie.

Report, edit, etc...Posted by ShizTheresABear on 2006-09-29 at 18:23:37

It sounds like the one from the movie, because Tristan and Bors aren't really in the real legend of King Arthur.

Report, edit, etc...Posted by DevliN on 2006-09-29 at 18:29:14

Actually I've seen their names in some of the Arthur legends that don't involve the Roman plotline. Bors was the one who supposedly found the grail or something (from the version that claims Arthur and his knights searched for the Holy Grail). Tristan, on the other hand, was from the "Tristan and Isolde" legend that somehow mixed with the Arthur legend at some point in history.

Okay, I don't know anything about these medieval kings and such. So, good luck with the map.

Report, edit, etc...Posted by CheatEnabled on 2006-09-30 at 04:19:52

Yes, it's based on the movie.
Though I will add stuff from the books too.

Report, edit, etc...Posted by ShizTheresABear on 2006-09-30 at 14:04:04

Tristan is not the Tristan from Tristan and Isolde (wow, 3 times in one sentence?).

Report, edit, etc...Posted by DevliN on 2006-09-30 at 17:09:25

If you actually read what I posted, you'd notice the "somehow mixed with the Arthur legend at some point in history" part. I had read in a few books that somehow another "Tristan and Isolde" legend coincided with the Arthur legend. He fell in love with one Isolde, then left to join Arthur's knights, and then met another woman named Isolde. But alas the first Isolde was the love if his life.

So you're right, Tristan is not from the original Tristan and Isolde legend, but someone at some point in time mixed them.

Personally I do not like the idea for a medieval maps in a futuristic RTC game such as Starcraft, but I hope you will do it well anyways, I wish you good luck on this and I hope you achieve what goals you may have set on this map.

Chuiu's RPG rant is a pretty old topic. Story-driven is only one characteristic of RPGs, there are so many others that are needed to actually make the RPG "good".

Report, edit, etc...Posted by RPD_Nightmare on 2006-10-02 at 15:15:45

Hey there! looks nice,but the heros will have some kind of skill or ability? (i saw the "spells" but appart,they will have got other actions or soemthin'?)

Yes, the heroes will have abilities like special attacks, command forces and use items, and there will also be different "mini games" you have to complete to run away from the Saxons or break the ice.

This map will be a mix of an RPG and tactical warfare, with some puzzle and arena elements.

Quest for Camelot RPG is the best RPG EVER! I really hope you've played it. This map looks like it's going to be amazing too. Work hard and release early!

lol, I guess it will be really nice, I like this kind of stuff

I'm working roughly 3 hours a day on the map, so it won't be too long before the release.

But for my map to work properly, I need testers. Please post here or PM me if you want to be one ( Europe ).

I'm European, I could be a tester. =)
the rpg sounds nice...

So basically, all you would do is do random missions? Seems kind of..plain.

there is a story you follow, and you have to fight, think, and command your way to victory. There wont be missions, everything will be in a story.

why do you think it is too plain? Come up with ideas that can make it less plain.

Report, edit, etc...Posted by EcHo on 2006-10-12 at 16:33:25

It just seems like any other RPGs. You should add something thats very different from others.

Ummm? He's trying to ask for ideas on how to make it less plain and you're telling him to make it less plain when he don't know what to do to make it less plain.

• What unique systems do you have?
When carrying too much items, your hero get encumbered? Your hero slows down and can't use spells when stamina is low?

• Terrain and Unit
Is it overexagerrated with lots of things that makes it look unrealistic(Example: Having a polar bear in the middle of a desert?!)
Or is it well-detailed and looks realistic?(Trees are randomly placed and not placed in neat rows as if it is man-planted)

Do your units appear all of a sudden making it unrealistic or does it get created in the fog and walks out from the fog into view of the players?

The most important new system is called Battlefield Control
It is basically a fighting system like the one seen in the Heroes:Of might and magic series, but with a lot of tweaks.

I'm doing my best to make it look all natural, and I think I have suceeded quite well in this.
